This post will be kind of long because I want to FINALLY share with you the rest of the Christmas Crafting I've been up to. Just save these ideas into a folder on your computer & you'll be one step ahead for Christmas 2010!! :) I'll be showing you the scrapbook pages we made at my December Simply Scrappin' Club using the Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin' Kit PLUS 5 more cards we made using an additional Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin' Kit. Are you ready??
Now, before your procede any further, I want to be sure you understand my mode for teaching a Scrapbooking Class. Not always knowing what pictures I might want to put on the pages nor those of people I am teaching, I really try to make the pages as wide open as possible, so that we can put as many pictures as we possibly can on each page. Don't have a bunch of photos, no worries...either enlarge them or fill up the space with additional elements from the Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin' Kit or from your own stash or simply add journalling. Also, as you will see from all my links below, I am also a big believer in not reinventing the wheel. Yes, it is fun to create something from scratch, but I also like to be inspired by other people & tweak it just a bit.
Also, don't forget that you can click on the pictures to see a larger image.
I CASEd the above layout from stamplaura on Splitcoast Stampers. To see it, click HERE.
I really liked stamplaura's pages, so this one is from one of her designs, too. To see it, click HERE.
OKay, so the above layout was ALSO inspired from stamplaura's pages, seen HERE, but she was inspired by the cover art on the Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin' Kit.
The above layout is what I originally wanted, but if having the title on the sides of the pages are too confusing to you, then all you need to do is rotate the pages! Voila! I gleaned this idea from Shanna Jensen, but I could not find her original layout on her blog which is FANTASTIC...you can view it HERE.

A few months ago, the gals in my Simply Scrappin' Club wanted to get a jump start on Christmas Cards. We used the Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin' Kit like we used in the above scrapbook pages. We ran out of time to make all the cards at the class, so we still had a few more cards to make. At our last club meeting, we made the following cards. If you'd like to see the original cards, go HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE. All cards are 4.25 by 5.5 when closed.
These first three cards were inspired by Andrea Walford's collection of Christmas Jingle Cards, which you can view HERE. I think I might have come up with the other 2 cards all on my own...gasp!
